Why doesn't Chuck Liddell get this much bashing. He's Captain Eye Poke

The eyesman lol Oh and Cain would get owned by Crocop.

never say never

Also, LMAO at the attempt to discredit his win against Al-Turk. Those of us who actually watched the fight know the truth.

I do agree that I'm pessimistic that he will be able to win the title but I won't write him off yet.

Come on, he has looked terrible in has last few fights. He looked bad in DREAM he looked bad in the UFC (1st run) and he looked flat footed, slow, and vulnerable for the take down when he fought Al-Turk.

Crop Cop hasn't been the same in a while. He may get his mojo back but it's been since he won the GP that I've seen him preform at an impressive level

I think a lot of people are in for a rude awakening the next time Cro Cop fights a top UFC HW.

The Cro Cop I saw against Al-Turk is not ready for the likes of Carwin, Velasquez, Lesnar, Couture, Dos Santos, I don't even think he could be Herring. He barely got past Al-Turk and he has no striking skills. Plus, he doesn't intimidate people like he use to. The guys mentioned all either have power or excellent gnp skills. Let's face it folks, the Cro Cop we once knew is no more and he will never contend for a championship in the UFC.

So. I'm just thankful to see the guy fight because win or lose I'll always be a fan.

illegal knees or not, if he were to fight Kongo in his next fight he would get man handled again

The believers. I have tremendous respect for Cro Cop's martial arts career, but I feel that it is nearing a screeching halt. He has not looked good since the PRIDE OWGP and he's getting up there in age and injuries. I think it would be a borderline miracle if Cro Cop returns to OWGP form.

I would not say dominant but it was a good performance considering he was coming off a surgery, layoff and the added pressure of proving his critics wrong.
